Mums In Motion

You really don’t need loads of fancy equipment to get stronger.
 
At Mums in Motion, we keep things simple.
 
Most of our strength exercises use dumbbells, alongside our mats for floor-based and core exercises.
 
And for mums who have been coming for a while and are ready to progress, we might introduce a small barbell for a handful of exercises.
 
That’s it!
 
And importantly, you don’t need to know how to use any of it before you come.
 
I’ll show you what to do, help you choose an appropriate weight and give you options depending on where you’re at.
 
Because you don’t need to walk through the door already knowing how to strength train.
 
That’s what you’re here to learn. 💜
 
Have you ever avoided a fitness class because you weren’t sure you’d know what to do? 👇

If you’ve never been to Mums in Motion before, you might have lots of little questions.
 
What happens when I arrive?
Where do I put my baby?
What if they’re unsettled?
What if I’m late?
Will I know anyone?
 
So this week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a Mums in Motion class.
 
Because I want you to know that there is no such thing as a “perfect” class.
 
Sometimes babies sleep.
 
Sometimes they don’t.
 
Sometimes we get through the whole workout.
 
Sometimes we stop for feeds, cuddles and nappy changes.
 
Sometimes someone arrives late.
 
And that’s all completely normal.
 
This is real life with a baby.
 
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come.
 
You already belong before you walk through the door. 💜

Mums in Motion — Pregnancy & Postnatal Fitness 🤍

Summer can be a lovely time to slow down, reset, and make a little space for yourself.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back into exercise…

Mums in Motion is a gentle, supportive fitness class designed to help you:

You don’t need to know exactly where to start.
 
You don’t need to be “fit enough” to join.
 
And you don’t need to wait until you feel completely confident.
 
That’s what Mums in Motion is here for. 💜
 
Our classes are designed to help you gradually rebuild strength, confidence and fitness after having a baby — with exercises that can be adapted to where you are right now.
 
You’ll be guided through the exercises, supported throughout the session and surrounded by other mums who are figuring it out too.
 
Whether you’re a few months postnatal or further along in your journey, there’s no pressure to “keep up”.
 
Just a welcoming space to move, get stronger and feel good in your body again.

You don’t need to become a fitness fanatic.
 
You don’t need to train 5 days a week.
 
You don’t need to lift really heavy weights.
 
And you definitely don’t need to “earn” your food.
 
Strength training can simply be about becoming stronger and more capable in your everyday life.
 
Stronger legs for chasing toddlers.
 
Stronger arms for carrying your baby.
 
A stronger body for getting up and down from the floor.
 
More confidence picking things up.
 
More energy for everyday life.
 
And perhaps most importantly…
 
Feeling like your body is yours again.
 
That’s why I love strength training for mums.
 
It’s not about trying to shrink yourself.
 
It’s about giving your body a reason to feel strong, capable and confident. 💜

I really want more mums to hear this.
 
Pregnancy and birth can change how your core feels and functions.
 
But changed doesn’t mean broken.
 
Your core is a whole system of muscles working together to support movement, breathing, lifting, carrying and everyday life.
 
And just like any other part of your body…
 
it can get stronger.
 
We can gradually work on:
 
✨ breathing and connection
✨ core control
✨ strength
✨ stability
✨ loading
✨ functional movements
 
And eventually, things that once felt difficult can start to feel normal again.
 
So rather than:
 
❌ “My core is ruined.”
 
Try:
 
💜 “My core has changed, and I’m learning how to use and strengthen it again.”
 
That’s a much more empowering place to start.

If you’ve ever thought your core was “ruined” after having a baby, you’re definitely not alone. 💜

There is so much fear and confusion around exercise after having a baby.
 
But postnatal exercise doesn’t have to be about being afraid of what your body might do.
 
It can be about rebuilding trust in what your body CAN do.
 
Your journey might look different from someone else’s — and that’s okay.
 
The goal isn’t to rush.
 
It’s to gradually build strength, confidence and capacity in a way that works for you and your stage of motherhood.
 
Save this for the days you need a reminder. 💜

After having a baby, it’s really easy to focus on everything that feels different.
 
Your tummy.
Your strength.
Your fitness.
Your confidence.
The things you used to be able to do.
 
But what if we changed the conversation?
 
Your body has been through something huge — and it is also capable of becoming incredibly strong again.
 
You can lift weights.
You can build your core strength.
You can improve your fitness.
You can learn new movements.
You can get stronger than you were before.
 
It doesn’t have to be about getting your “old body” back.
 
It’s about discovering what your body can do now. 💜
 
That’s what we’re all about at Mums in Motion.
